Those two words are never said together, AND for good reason!!! A cavity is never fun!!!! Austin had a cavity filled last year, and the little bugger fell out, we went back in and the dentist fixed it, he said that in baby teeth fillings tend to fall out because blah, blah blah I don't remember, so when it fell out a second time, I didn't think anything of it, except the fact that he had a horrible tooth ache with it. So we called the dentist yet again, but now our insurance has switched so we have to go to another dentist, YAY this is always so much fun to take your kids to a new dentist. Luckily my fabulous sister in law used to work for a pediatric dentist which she loved so we thought we would give him a try!!!

This is where it gets "fun"! We take Austin in for his appointment he cried most of the way to the Dentist Office, then cried when they tried to take x-rays then cried when they asked him to sit in the chair, then cried when they just looked in his mouth!! And because of all of this...

We get to go to Primary Childrens on 06/25 and he gets to be completely put out, sedated, asleep, knocked out, however you want to put it, so that he can have a baby tooth fixed!!!!

Tip to all parents out there Brush AND Floss your kids teeth morning noon and night, and no sugar EVER!!! And don't let your kids inherit your super thin enamel and let them get cavities easily like you.

However I am so thankful that there is such thing as sedation dentistry otherwise, we would have to strap him to the chair kicking and screaming through the whole procedure!!!

YA RIGHT!!!! This poor kid is going to HATE the dentist when all is said and done!!!

Because of "no insurance issues" my girls have only been to the dentist once--last year and it was a pediatric dentist office and it was a NIGHTMARE! both girls throwing screaming fits, the dentist threatening Emma that I would have to leave the room and he would do it "his way" if she didn't calm down--blah blah. And I was told Emma would have to be knocked out to get her 11!!!! cavities filled. Haven't gone back yet. Where did she get those teeth from? I didn't have my first cavity till I was 16! But the dentist told me it was because of how her teeth have grown in--baby teeth. They are all butted up against each other so tightly that it wouldn't matter how often and well she brushed and flossed, she would still have the cavities. Ugh!

Colton did primary children's for the same thing when he was 3, it was actually a lot of fun for him, not so much for me. They took him to the operating room in a little wagon and he got to get up on the table himself. They will let you go in with him to stay with him until he's asleep. Then they explained to me what would happen as he went to sleep, can I tell you I still freaked out. First they say he will start to breath fast, then it will sound like he's having trouble breathing, then...and for me this was the worst, then he will start to twitch. Go ahead and cry at this point because I did, it's just what the anesthisia does to our bodies but man it's tough when it's your little man it's happening too. Good luck and don't sweat it, he'll be just fine:).

Austin 6 years old

Austin is our darling little boy. He is such a good big brother, he loves his little sister, Alyssa, and protects her in every way. They love to play together AND fight with eachother. Austin is starting 1st grade!, and he seems excited, he will be going to a charter school with his cousin Abby who I hope will be in his same class, so hopefully this will help him to be more comfortable with being away from home!! I know he will do well, he is so smart! I can't believe my baby is a little boy. Austin is a natural athlete and is very active. He is our careful kid, and analyzes everything. He loves to cuddle and is very affectionate, there isnt a day that goes by that he doesnt come up to us out of the blue give us a hug and tell us he loves us! He is our every day miracle and evidence of the power of prayer. We love our sweet boy and would stop time right now if we could. He love books about dinosaurs, and especially SHARKS!!

Alyssa 5 Years Old

Alyssa is still busy, busy, busy. She is a leader and a boss! She is fearless she will do anything...which makes me and her dad very nervous. She is the one out of the group of kids that will pick up the snail, spider, ant, bugs to examine them. She is so happy...most of the time, she is definitely a Drama Queen...I am already nervous for the teen years. One word -DIVA!!! She loves to dance, and can't help but shake her booty to any rhythm. She looks up to Austin and copies everything he does. She gives the best hugs and kisses! and is the one in the family that reminds us to say our prayers, by folding her arms and bowing her head at meals and at bed time. She also reminds us all to brush our teeth and take our vitamins. She doesn't forget ANYTHING She is a caretaker, a natural mother, very caring and nurturing and is always aware of others. She is such a sweetheart. She is our Angel. She starts kindergarten in the fall and will be going to school with Austin.and is more than ready, she is reading and doing so well in math, so proud!

All because two people fell in love...
